“Where am I….” Kagome wondered to herself. “I feel so heavy.” The young miko relaxed as she allowed for the numbness to spread through out her body, all she could feel now was a dull thud from the wound on her arm as her pulse slowly started to ebb away. Everything was dark, but calm. She wasn’t afraid, she wasn’t anything. In this tiny universe tucked inside herself, there was nothing. Nothing except for that annoying thud thud thud. At least that was starting to get quieter too.
As Inuyasha bolted up the stairs his ears searched for any signs of life. He could faintly detect a dull pulse coming from upstairs, but it wasn’t very strong. Oh Kami! Please be okay Kagome! He threw open the door of Kagome’s room and his knees almost gave out from under him.
There was Kagome sprawled on her bed, her eyes open but unseeing and her arm dangling over the side. Drip drip drip…. That was the thud he had heard before, almost as though the wound on her arm had taken over her pulse as the crimson river spilled over to stain the bed and the carpet. Inuyasha ran over to the dying girl and cradled her head to his chest. Wiping the sweat from her face, he gave her a little shake. “Wake up Kagome!” he pleaded.
“Inu…yasha…? Why…” Kagome felt a small tug on the fringes of her consciousness as Inuyasha’s voice began to break through. No she thought I don’t want to leave here! She fought as her senses started to come back to her, and with them came the pain she was so desperately trying to escape.
Inuyasha could faintly smell death creeping into her as her face paled, “What did you do you stupid girl! C’mon! Just wake up already!” he begged over and over. He grabbed her torn arm and squeezed above the wound trying anything to get the bleeding to stop. “Just hang in there Kagome, Ill get you through this….” He frantically looked around the room for something to tie around her arm, finding a shirt he made quick work of it and began to gather her up to take her to Kaede’s. She’ll know what to do…
Kagome felt the a surge of heat rush through her arm and into her chest as a sudden pressure strangled the pulse from her wound. AAHH!! Still unable to move, the silent scream rang through her tormented mind. She felt like her body was being torn into a million pieces from the inside out as she finally emerged from her mental solitude. Her eyes fluttered open and she gazed up into two brilliant and terrified amber orbs. “Inu…yasha…”
“Kagome!” he all but yelled in sudden relief, “Kamis! I thought I lost you! Don’t worry, I’m going to get you help, just hang in there!”
“No…” she whispered. “I don’t…” but he cut her off as he scooped her up and flew out the window and down into the well.
She couldn’t help it, there was no strength left in her body to fight him. She knew she was close to death and she wanted nothing more than to just slip away from all the pain once and for all. Why wont you just let me die Inuyasha. You don’t want me anyway. No one wants me… Why cant you just let me rid you all from this burden… She allowed herself to slip back into her mental void, hoping it would all be over soon.
Inuyasha burst into Kaede’s hut with the limp miko in his arms, his hairo covered in blood. “My child! What has happened!” Kaede whispered in shock.
“I don’t know! It doesn’t matter! Just save her you ol’ hag!” Inuyasha pled helplessly. He laid Kagome on the bed mat in the corner of the hut, keeping her head in his lap as he stroked her hair willing her heart to keep beating just a while longer. Kaede knelt down by the wound, removing the shirt and rubbing herbs around she edges. She busied herself trying to seal the wound and stop the bleeding as best she could and as she rewrapped Kagomes arm she looked over to Inuyasha and sighed.
“I don’t believe she is going to make it Inuyasha… she has already lost so much blood and I don’t sense the will to fight in her any more.” As she spoke, tears began to spill from her eyes and she held the young miko’s hand, stroking it sadly.
Inuyasha looked at her blankly. No!! his mind screamed. His eyes fell back to Kagome, his blood beginning to boil as he watched her breath becoming more shallow. “I will NOT give up and watch her die! Do you HEAR me you witch! There has to be SOMETHING I can do!”
Kaede flinched as she saw his amber eyes flicker red with his intense emotion. That’s when it dawned on her. There was a way to save Kagome, but the chances were very slim and it could only work with Inuyasha’s demon blood boiling so close to the surface. It was very dangerous though and she wasn’t quite sure what the consequences of such an act would be, or if Inuyasha would be able to control his demon side long enough to complete the spell.
“Inuyasha,” she whispered, “there is a way, but its very dangerous and I know not what will come of it….”
“What is it! Anything! Who cares what! Just tell me!” he growled at her.
“You’ll have to transfer some of your yoki into her body, that’s the only thing strong enough to sustain her heart until she can heal from this. Once your yoki bonds with her body though, there is no going back, it will remain with her forever.”
“Well tell me what to do witch! The consequences don’t matter, I’ll deal with them later! Right now we just have to save her!” he growled again, frustrated at what he interpreted as a lack of urgency. He was slowly beginning to lose it, he couldn’t lose Kagome! She was everything to him… He stopped and looked at the girl after his sudden realization, of course he’d do anything to save her, no matter what.
Kaede sighed. He’s right. We have to save Kagome, consequences be damned…
“Okay Inuyasha, find the pulse in her wound and bite. Will you power into her body, will your energies to heal her and will your strength to take hold of her heart. Your instincts will guide you through the rest.”
He nodded and wiped the hair from Kagomes face, “be strong” he whispered before he moved her head off his lap and took Kaede’s seat next to her torn arm. He took a deep breath trying to prepare himself for what he was about to do when he was suddenly hit again with the sickly strong scent of Kagomes blood laced with death. His eyes flashed red as he growled and clamped his fangs into her wound feeling the pulse emanating from within, and willed his strength to flow into her.
Kagomes eyes flashed open and her back arched as she felt her body being engulfed in a searing white light. Her mind went blank as something started to creep through her veins, taking hold of every nerve and bringing it back to life. Finally it reached down to her very core and her heart sputtered one last time before it stopped. Her body went limp and her eyes fluttered shut.
Inuyasha relinquished his hold on her arm, drawing back in shock as he listened to her heart give way. He leaned forward, gently stroking her face, “C’mon! You’re supposed to be better now! Be strong Kagome! Fight!” He dropped his forehead onto her hers, choking out a defeated growl when he heard it.
Thud… Thud… Thud…
All of a sudden her heart jolted back stronger than ever. He sat back up to examine her, “Did it work… Is she… alive?” She looked like she was merely sleeping, the color was slowly returning to her face as the wound finally stopped bleeding. She was healing.
AN: Okay, so a little intense. I just want to throw it out there that I don’t in any way shape or form condone suicide or self mutilation. Now, with that said, hopefully we can get this ball rollin’ now :D thanks to those who’ve been keeping up with me so far! ~Little Bird~
